The Albino Kushala Daora is a Kushala Daora possessing a rare genetic mutation which causes its scales to stay white for a few months after it has shed its skin. It first appears in Monster Hunter Z Ultimate.

Contents

Appearance

The Albino Kushala Daora is a normal Kushala Daora that has recently shed its metallic skin. Due to a rare genetic mutation, its new scales do not instantly turn back into metallic grey, and stay completely white for a few months, or even years. As seen in MHF2's Kushala Daora ecology video, after Kushala Daora sheds its skin, its new skin is completely white for a few moments, before transforming into the normal metallic grey. Apart from the skin colouration, Albino Kushala Daora has no other differences from the regular Kushala Daora.

Behavior

Albino Kushala Daora is more aggressive than their silver counterparts because of the fact that they want to protect their skin from damage at all costs, since it is softer and more vulnerable. Albino Kushala Daora will attack hunters on sight.

Abilities

Albino Kushala Daora, when enraged, is somewhat capable of producing its famous wind aura, that throws hunters back even if it is poisoned. However, when calm AND poisoned, it will not be able to produce the wind aura. Albino Kushala Daora utilizes the Wind element on most of its attacks, which inflict windblight on hunters. Hunters with windblight will be knocked up into the air if they are hit with any attack. If hit by an attack that will knock them airbourne even if they weren't windblighted, they will fly up an even further distance and even higher altitude. Albino Kushala Daora's wind blasts and wind aura are also, strangely, very dark grey in colour, as opposed to the normal Kushala Daora's wind aura, which is transparent / light grey.

Attacks

Albino Kushala Daora possesses all of Kushala Daora's attacks. It also has some new attacks of its own, like a hovering 360 spin followed by a wind beam, a slam attack where it will fly up in the air and land back down on the ground, a new tail swipe, and a wind enhanced charge.
